Abstract

The object of the present invention is a process for controlling the active power injected into the grid by a generating plant for contributing to the stability of the power grid in the event of frequency variations wherein in response to a deviation in grid frequency (7), each generating unit (2) calculates an active power variation parameter generated based on a first parameter (Ci, Ki) stored in said generating unit (2), said first parameter (Ci, Ki) being representative of a respective contribution of said generating unit (2) to a required variation in total active power of the generating plant (1),and where a central control unit (5) of the generating plant (1) connected to each generating unit (2) updates the value of the first parameters (Ci, Ki) when changes are produced therein.
